Well That Only Took Four Years

Tawyn, Hunter #1, has been making the rounds on and off for years and nothing.
Lunapike, Hunter #2, has been making the rounds on and off for years and nothing.
But today I was doing panda quests on Tawyn and I thought “Huh, Hunter #3 is my cat collector. I should send him up to Sholazar and see what happens.”
And so it came to pass that Althalor, Hunter #3, snagged Loque on his very first tiptoe into Sholazar Basin. Lucky SOB.
Congrats, belf boy. You’ve come a long way fro

Thoughts On Returning To WoW

The real reason dinosaurs became extinct
I say “returning” but the fact is I never really left, not in the sense of unsubscribing at least (I wonder how much money subscription games make out of people not bothering to cancel their sub?). Although I still logged in to dabble on occasion, I haven’t seriously played WoW since Diablo 3 came out in May and have been busy since doing other things like playing other games, working and enjoying the summer. Truth be told though, there

Rift Pre-Expansion Patch Hits Servers, Brings Class Changes and More!

Rift: Storm Legion is just around the corner, and today saw the pre-expansion changes come to Telara in patch 1.11. Sweeping changes to the existing soul trees and updates to class mechanics await your exploration, and the ‘Tempest Rising’ World Event threatens Telara’s very existence.
The soul tree and class changes are pretty extensive, so rather than putting literally dozens of pages of patch notes below, we’ll just provide you a handy-dandy link to the patch notes sec

You Should Buy Torchlight 2

There's nothing like wielding a huge cannon to make me feel like a man
Torchligh 2 is better than Diablo 3. There, I’ve said it. And yes, I know it’s not professional to compared games to each like that but considering I’m just a hobbyist blogger, I figured I can get away with it. So I’ll say this: Torchlight 2 is everything I hoped Diablo 3 was going to be.
This isn’t to say that D3 was a bad game ’cause it wasn’t. It was good, very good in fact, b

Defiance – New developer diary talks open world PvP goodness

//
[Game website] I was never a fan of open world PvP, and to some extent, I still am. The only exception now is PlanetSide 2, where I don’t get ganked while killing a PvE boss halfway. I sure hope Defiance does not “devolve” into such an online shooter.
 

Launching April 2013, Defiance will be available on the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Although the game allows PS3 owners to play against Xbox 360 players in a demo shown, Microsoft is against this in the live server
